Gay Travel Recommendations
For over a decade, Out Of Office has been building luxury holidays for LGBTQ+ travellers. From tailor-made getaways and private group trips to solo adventures and honeymoons, we specialise in creating travel experiences that are as individual as the people taking them.
We believe in creating LGBTQ+ holidays that deeply resonate with your identity and preferences. That might mean a week island-hopping the Greek islands, a luxury safari in South Africa staying in lodges where the wildlife comes to you, or an overwater villa in French Polynesia with nothing between you and the Pacific. With us, your journey becomes an exploration of the world’s diversity, experienced through the unique lens of the gay traveller.
Not every destination plays by the same rules, and part of our job is knowing which ones require a different approach. In places where LGBTQ+ travellers need to exercise discretion, we give honest, practical advice based on real experience.
The Maldives sits at an interesting intersection for LGBTQ+ travellers. Same-sex relationships are illegal under Maldivian law, and that is a fact worth knowing before you book. But the reality on the ground, particularly within the resort islands, is a different story. The country’s luxury resorts operate essentially as private retreats, and the vast majority are experienced, professional, and entirely comfortable welcoming same-sex couples. Our team has sent hundreds of LGBTQ+ travellers to the Maldives and knows which properties handle this well and which ones to avoid. If an overwater villa at sunrise is on your list, we don’t think the Maldives should be off it.
Some of our clients want Mykonos in August, Super Paradise Beach, and its celebrated social scene. Others want to watch the Northern Lights in Iceland or take a private dhow along the Kenyan coast, somewhere quiet and far from any scene. Homosexuality remains illegal in almost half of all UN member states, and we don’t shy away from that reality. We’ll tell you what it actually means on the ground, destination by destination, and help you make the right call for your trip.
For those looking for a gay-centric getaway, the international gay jet set congregates every year in places like Puerto Vallarta, Provincetown, and Sitges – destinations we know inside and out. We can tailor-make the perfect luxury gay travel experience in the most gay-friendly places, offering gay holiday packages that suit your preferences. We have done just that for thousands of customers around the world.

Best Gay Travel Destinations
London
London consistently ranks among the most LGBTQ+-friendly cities on the planet. It is one of the most diverse, openly welcoming cities in the world, and it shows in Soho’s bars and clubs, in the Pride celebrations in July, and in the general sense that almost anything goes and you could meet anyone in the social whirl. Beyond the gay scene, it is one of the great cultural capitals, with world-class museums, restaurants, and neighborhoods that reward proper exploration. Few cities offer as much, and fewer still do it with quite the same energy.
Berlin
If London is the world’s gayest city in numerical terms (by some measures, at least!), Berlin is certainly the queerest. Back in the days of the Weimar Republic (1918-1933), Berlin was packed with smoke-filled cabarets. It was a place of sexual experimentation. A place where the lines between gender and sexuality were blurred. It remains a haven of queer culture to this day, and it’s a major draw for gay travelers. If you’re looking to party then Berlin is the place to be. As a premier gay travel destination, Berlin offers an unparalleled nightlife and cultural experience.
Bangkok
Thailand is the unofficial gay travel capital of Asia. Bangkok is home to a big gay scene that attracts gay travelers from all over the world. Thailand is known as the Land of Smiles for a reason: it’s very friendly. You’ll also find buzzing gay scenes on the islands of Phuket and Koh Samui. A big cultural highlight of Thailand is Ayutthaya, the former capital. Abandoned in 1767, it’s full of enigmatic temples and ruins. For those seeking all-inclusive gay vacations, Thailand offers an array of options that cater to every taste.
Sitges
Sitges is a great choice for a sunny gay vacation in Europe. It’s a charming coastal town on the Costa Brava. Barcelona is just 40 minutes away by train. Sitges isn’t a cultural destination – you’ll find all that in Barcelona. It’s a party and relaxation destination. Sitges is mostly populated by upwardly mobile gay male travelers from Europe and North America.
Provincetown
At the tip of Cape Cod in eastern Massachusetts, you’ll find Provincetown. It has long been a haven for artists and, as night follows day, LGBTQ+ people. The drag clubs, shops, and galleries along Commercial Street are always bustling in peak season. Provincetown is one of the most inclusive towns in the USA. John Waters spends much of the year in Provincetown, incidentally. It’s one of the best places to be for a gay vacation in the USA.
Mykonos
Mykonos has been a gay travel institution since the 1970s and shows no sign of slowing down. The beaches are legendary, the beach clubs are glamorous, and the bars around Little Venice keep going well into the night. It is also, by any measure, one of the most beautiful islands in the Mediterranean.

The Law vs. Reality: Gay Travel to the Maldives
A holiday to the Maldives is certainly something at the top of many people's bucket lists. Not only does it offer some of the most beautiful resorts on the planet but the people are friendly, the atmosphere laid back and the drinks aplenty. It also boasts some of the bluest, clearest waters on all of the planet. For many luxury travellers, the Maldives has to be seen at least once in a lifetime.

First Time in Japan: What to Know Before You Go
Japan operates differently than anywhere else you've travelled. The logistics that make other destinations manageable fall apart here. Restaurant reservations require Japanese phone numbers. Ryokans enforce strict check-in windows with no flexibility. Train station announcements default to Japanese, with English translations that come too late or not at all (the train will be on time, though!). The country rewards preparation and punishes improvisation, which makes first-time independent travel a high-stakes gamble most people lose.
ReadUnusual Gay Travel Destinations
Some of the most spectacular places on the planet sit in countries where the legal picture for LGBTQ+ travelers is complicated. We send clients to the Maldives, Sri Lanka, and Egypt, among others, and we do it carefully. The law in these countries is one thing; the reality on the ground, particularly within the luxury properties we work with, is often another entirely.
In the Maldives, resort islands function as self-contained private retreats, largely insulated from the laws that govern the rest of the country. The properties we work with have been personally vetted by our team and are experienced, discreet, and welcoming. In East Africa, we know which safari lodges handle LGBTQ+ guests with complete ease and which ones to steer clear of. The same principle applies everywhere we send people: we only recommend properties and guides we trust, and we give you an honest briefing on what to expect before you travel.
Public discretion is advised in all of these destinations, and we will always tell you exactly what that means in practice. But for travelers willing to approach these places with some awareness, the rewards are considerable. An overwater villa in the Maldives, a private game drive at dawn in Tanzania, the temples of Luxor at dusk: the world’s most extraordinary experiences should not be off-limits simply because the legal framework of a country hasn’t caught up with the rest of the world.

Best Luxury Alternatives to the Maldives
The Maldives has long reigned as the ultimate luxury tropical escape, with its dreamy overwater bungalows, crystal clear waters and coral atolls. However, the Maldives isn’t the last word in tropical island luxury. It also has limited cultural experiences beyond the confines of the luxury resorts. Yet for all its undeniable beauty and refined hospitality, the Maldives represents just one interpretation of tropical luxury.

How Mustique Became the Most Luxurious Island in the Caribbean
Mustique is the most exclusive destination in the Caribbean. But how did this 1,400-acre speck of land transform into a playground for royalty, celebrities, and the global elite? The story of Mustique encompasses the British royal family, David Bowie, and an eccentric aristocrat who kick-started the whole thing. The story has been told by Princess Margaret’s Lady in Waiting in her fabulous memoir, and also in the last season of The Crown.
ReadTypes of Gay Vacation
Out Of Office was set up with one goal – to make LGBTQ+ travel better, easier, and more accessible. If you are looking for gay vacations then look no further. For years gay travel has been notoriously poorly serviced by a slew of companies and we’re here to change that. Everything you see on our website is there as inspiration to help give you ideas for your next gay vacation. We specialize in luxury tailor-made vacations and there are lots of ideas to consider depending on what you want to get out of your vacation.
Gay Adventure Vacations
For travelers who want more than a sun lounger, some destinations deliver on a different level entirely. New Zealand‘s South Island puts you within reach of fjords, glaciers, and some of the world’s great hiking trails. Australia combines the otherworldly landscapes of the Red Centre with the Great Barrier Reef and some of the most dramatic coastal scenery on the planet.
In Southeast Asia, Vietnam‘s karst mountains and Halong Bay offer a completely different kind of scale, while Cambodia‘s Angkor Wat remains one of the most extraordinary archaeological sites in the world. We build these trips around what you actually want to experience, not a standard itinerary.
Gay City Breaks
Barcelona remains one of the great short-break destinations. Gaudí’s architecture rewards a full day of exploration and the Eixample district’s bars and clubs give the evenings real substance. Madrid offers a different pace: world-class art in the Prado and Reina Sofía, late dinners that don’t start until 10pm, and a gay scene centered on Chueca that is among the best in Europe.
Berlin is in a category of its own for queer culture, with a nightlife scene that runs deeper and later than almost anywhere else on the continent and a history that gives the city genuine weight. Amsterdam combines canal-house beauty with one of Europe’s most established and relaxed LGBTQ+ communities, and remains one of the most effortlessly welcoming cities you can visit.
Gay Group Vacations
Gay group vacations are a great way to travel if you are a solo traveler looking to meet like-minded people whilst exploring incredible destinations. One of our best gay group vacation destinations is Peru, where you can venture on the Inca trail to Machu Picchu and explore the cities of Cusco and Lima which are rich in Peruvian culture and history. Costa Rica is also a great destination if you are looking for adventure where you can explore the rainforest and the volcanic national parks.
Gay Cruises
A lot of our clients like to go on a gay cruise or sailing. It’s a great way to explore a selection of destinations on one trip. From the Galapagos Islands to the Caribbean we cover a wide range of destinations as well as offering gay river cruises. You’ll find some gay-only cruises but we also work with some of the world’s major cruise lines if you are looking to travel to a destination that those itineraries don’t cover.
Gay Sailing Vacations
If you are looking for a gay sailing vacation then there are several options to consider. If you have a group already, we can organize a private boat charter with a gay-friendly skipper. Alternatively, if you are a solo traveler or a small party, then we have lots of gay group sailing departures to destinations all over the world including Greece, Croatia, Italy, and the Bahamas. Again, you will have a gay skipper on board who will guide you throughout the vacation.
With hundreds of ideas, you’re bound to find something that you like and if you don’t, then you can send us a general inquiry and we’ll be able to build the perfect gay vacation itinerary for you. Our sister site TravelGay.com is also a great resource if you’re looking for the best gay club or best gay bar in a destination.
In this day and age, it’s easy to book travel online, but it lacks the expert advice and destination knowledge that our team has and can acquire – especially from an LGBTQ+ viewpoint. We have the very best contacts in destinations around the world which have been built up through years of traveling and when it comes to personalized service, Out Of Office is second to none in the gay travel sphere.
